Re: THE DESERTED BATTLEFIELD

[crimsonbloom]

[ Bold you to assume there won't be murder despite all that -- ]

Would it be okay to interrupt...

Hey, have you hurt or killed anyone from avante?

[ At. At least she's straight to the point. ]

Re: THE DESERTED BATTLEFIELD

[calmthefoxdown]

[ Uh oh. ]

[ The slowest side eye. ]

Re: THE DESERTED BATTLEFIELD

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ Oh. Well. ]

Not here, no. Historically, we've tried to protect Avante.

[ AND IF ANYTHING... she may have saved Nemesis once this game, thanks to the genie. But she's not psychic to be able to provide that. ]

I ate a man, once, to try to save your unit ... However, I can't say I've never been responsible for the loss of life for someone on Avante.

[ We were both there for the trial. ]

Re: THE DESERTED BATTLEFIELD

[crimsonbloom]

That's 'cause of Cardigan-san and Raijuu-kun, right?

[ She's closing her eyes with her head tilted, very obviously weighing pros and cons in her head. Presumably the pros and cons of murder. ]

...Geez, trying to kill people is hard when you have to think about all this 'politics' stuff.

Re: THE DESERTED BATTLEFIELD

[calmthefoxdown]

[ Camellia plz. ]

You could also just ask people if they want to duel to. The death. So you're both on equal footing and understanding.

[ Even though that sounds like the stupidest thing ever. ]

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ oh

my god

this is all a lot. is she being forced to prove her closeness to them? ]

.... I happen to like almost all of you. I used to cook with Gold, and I happen to admire and like Nemesis a great deal. I've been trying to get to know you and Kirin as well. Beyond that, I happen to value your lives as people.

If you just want to fight me, though, I don't care. We can keep it between us.

[crimsonbloom]

[ Well, not really asking to prove them, it's more that Camellia was kind of asking if Hiryuu cares mostly about those two, since as far as she knows apart from a few avante members they aren't actually close with HSS?

Well, not that is super matters right here. Hiryuu's okay but she doesn't like her enough to be dissuaded from murder; if anything she's only worried about upsetting Raijuu.

So, very serenely: ]

Haha, it's just you know...eventually this game has to end, and the rule mentions a full heal, right~? If this is anything like that tournament with the rooms and buttons, what happens if any of us die in the 'last round' and we don't win? Raijuu-kun and Kirin-kun showed up dead the last time.

I'd been meaning to ask you all for a fair fight anyway! Well, without the live weapons. But maybe this will do instead? Though Raijuu-kun would be pretty upset if he found out, so...

[calmthefoxdown]

[ You know what, Gold is just gonna. Step back and hang out with Camellia's dog and let them work it out, Gold is smart enough not to get between two fight girls. ]

[dragonheartedgirl]

I don't know that I would call any of the fights in here very "fair." [ knives against guns and sunglasses is just it's not in anyway equitable. PLUS she has Heroes Never Die so she could literally still try to kill you as a dozen different orchestrated moving limbs. ] But if it's a duel you want, here or elsewhere, and it will satisfy you then I'll give it my all. I already said I wouldn't say anything.

1/2

[crimsonbloom]

[ Implying Camellia knows about Heroes Never Die -- ]

If people are both armed to their preference and they both agree to the fight, is that not fair? But if that's the case --

[crimsonbloom]

[ And then.

Weapons turning into instruments.

And Pink dying in the background. ]

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ Yeah UHHHHHH she's wheezing, producing a high, musical note--like an oboe. It feels like she's suffocating, but it passes relatively quickly. But her voice box now sounds--wrong. Some weird ethereal mishmash of of an instrument and a teenage girl. ]

Is that--Pink?

[ Sunshine and Rise, too, from the looks of things. ]

[idolpro]

Oh, noble soul! [ Who the fuck is this. Kuzuebiko appears, suddenly, or someone that looks like him does anyway - he snaps his fingers and your weapons become . . . a double bassoon and an english horn. hm. ] Remember now, the beauty of life! [ well, it IS a beautiful instrument. almost makes you not want to fight anymore! stunned for 1 turn. ] [ the genie disappears in a billow of smoke. ]

[crimsonbloom]

[









what ]

[calmthefoxdown]

[ Oh there it is. ]

Why'd that take so long to work this time?

[crimsonbloom]

Dramatic effect~?

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ squeaking/rasping musically, ]

What did?

[idolpro]

[ i know he just appeared in front of camellia but Listen ] Oh, wretched soul! [ Who the fuck is this. Kuzuebiko appears, suddenly, or someone that looks like him does anyway - he snaps his fingers and your weapons become. . . a contrabassoon and an oboe. hm. ] Remember now, the despair of death! [ wait wh Your chest tightens inexplicably, throat closing up - your last breaths wheeze out in inhuman notes, literal music to one's ears - you'll die, or maybe you won't - player choice! either way, you have a few moments left. ] [ the genie disappears in a billow of smoke. ]

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ hey WHAT THE FUCK?

SHU?

I thought we were friends!?!

aaaaand suddenly, can't breathe.

IT PASSES SOMEWHAT but it leaves her. uh. UUHHHH.. her voice is very. musical and raspy/squeaky now ]

What was that?

[worldlyafflictions]

[Meanwhile uh, the genie appeared again like three foxholes away and someone who'd just stood up to interrupt is not fairing as well without the ability to breathe. HE WAS HOPING FOR A SMOOTHER INTERRUPTION...]

[dragonheartedgirl]

[ are u making some noise pink

can u make noise while choking ]

[crimsonbloom]

-- Pink-kun?

[ YOU DON'T SEEM OKAY? ]

[heroicsacrifeyes]

Pachuun!

[If Pink is not making enough noise to be heard, Rise definitely is, rushing closer to him what is wrong why isn't he breathing???]

[malignstar]

PINK!

[ Rushing him to see if there's any way he can clear for air ]

[calmthefoxdown]

[ What the heck you were here?? ]
